Description
The spaces we live in shape us in profound ways. Everyday environments mediate community, creativity, and our very identity, making us who we are. Lily Bernheimer explores how our surroundings influence our behaviour using insights from environmental psychology, design, and architecture. From the office environment to public areas, housing, and cities, Bernheimer reveals the often imperceptible ways in which our surroundings impact our lives. She examines global examples of environments promoting well-being, as well as grassroots efforts to build spaces that support us. You'll learn how different spaces can reveal aspects of your personality and cultural background. The environments we inhabit define our identities, from our earliest moments of evolution to the worlds we build around ourselves. This book offers a wide-ranging look at the ways in which our surroundings shape us, and what this means for our future.
